Ms. Jackie Hidalgo

Originally from California, I have been in Texas since 1999 and at Hightower High School in various capacities since April 2000. I enlisted in the U.S. Navy after high school, travelled a little bit, got married and raised my two children. After working at Hightower for several years, I decided it was time to go back to school and pursue a college degree and, while navigating that process, decided that I wanted to help students through that same process.
